From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 74 kt with 9.1° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 984 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 8,084 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,710 fpm on average to 984 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 8,995 ft runway.
Rolled from 109 ft in, never more than 2 ft off the centreline, in 7 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 5 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up, sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed, glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3°, centreline more than 1° off, wings more than 10° from level and speed more than 14 kt above the approach speed of 90 kt.
When the approach was stable
Not every check held at once from 1.7 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 1.7 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 300 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 1,000 ft past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 1,250 ft right of the centreline at 1.7 nm, then inside the band from 1.2 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 23 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 14 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Fast from 1.7 nm, where the final began, to 0.5 nm (up to +113 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Great landing flare
4 kt across from the right, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 72 kt. Touched down with the nose 4° into wind, 2° of bank.
Wind 070° at 14 kt · 14 kt head · 4 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 17 ft, 33 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 942 ft in, close to the ideal 1,000 ft.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 300 fpm at 21 ft to 70 fpm at 9 ft, then back up to 320 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.5° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,763 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 9 ft of it down the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The 942 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.41 G arrival bounced.
The rest of the report
The Horten Ho229 aircraft departed from runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 382 feet, which accounted for 4% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 76 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 25 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 25 knots.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began approximately 1 mile northeast of PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered an enroute climb phase, which started overhead SB35 Honolulu and involved ascending from an altitude of 398 feet above sea level to 3,326 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,928 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute descent phase, which began 3 miles west of East Honolulu and involved descending from an altitude of 3,286 feet above sea level to 326 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,961 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started overhead Waimanalo and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at PHNG Kaneohe Bay MCAS (Marion E. Carl Field) Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 51.0 degrees at an altitude of 1 nautical mile and 310 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 04, which had a length of 7,763 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 82 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 939 feet, and the touchdown speed was 72 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -268 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 24 knots at a direction of 71 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 22 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,487 feet, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.
